Yangbajing Solar Power Generation Base

Is Yangbajain a geothermal power plant?

After this, there was no major geothermal power development in the country for almost 20 years, and the Yangbajain geothermal power plant became the representative geothermal power plant in China. Nevertheless, the Yangbajain power plant also experienced corrosion and scaling of its equipment .

Is Yangbajing Geothermal Power Plant contaminating river water?

Guo, Q., Wang, Y., and Liu, W.: B, As, and F contamination of river water due to wastewater discharge of the Yangbajing geothermal power plant, Tibet, China, Environmental Geology, 56, (2008), 197-205. Li, H.,

What happened after the Yangbajing geothermal power plant was used?

However, after the Yangbajing geothermal power plant was put into use, almost all of the primary hydrothermal manifestations, including boiling spring, hot spring, warm spring, and hot lake, disappeared under the effect of long- term intensive exploitation of geothermal resource.

Where are Yangbajing and Yangyi geothermal fields located?

In Tibet, the Yangbajing and Yangyi geothermal fields are two representative fields with magmatic chambers as heat sources, and both of them are located in the Yangbajing-Dangxiong basin, a Cenozoic rift basin that belongs to the Dangxiong-Yangbajing-Duoqing active tectonic belt.

Can geothermal fluids generate electricity at Yangyi?

Although electricity generation at Yangyi is feasible, the high-temperature geothermal fluids have not been exploited to generate electricity so far. All the geothermal wells drilled by the Geothermal Geological Team of Tibet have been abandoned, though hot water and steam are still flowing out from some of them.

How many hot springs are there in Yangbajing?

According to Li et al. (2003), before the first Yangbajing geothermal power plant was built (in 1981), there were about 30 warm springs with the temperature between 20 and 60 °C, about 20 hot springs between 60 and 86 °C, and 4 boiling springs higher than 86 °C at Yangbajing where the water boiling temperature is 86 °C.
